"Today's SoC design specifications necessitate high-quality IP and VIP and Denali's solutions and expertise unlike any other vendor. We were pleased with the unmatched performance and overall ease of integration of Denali's Databahn memory controllers into our chip design," said Rafy Carmon, vice president of R&D at Percello Ltd. "We used Databahn controller and MMAV in our design to support our required DDR2 memory interface and TSMC's 65nm CMOS technology. During the design and verification phases, we found that Denali's IP and VIP were easy-to-use and to integrate which facilitated our very fast design cycle."

DDR DRAM is a key component in many memory subsystems found in a variety of computing, networking and communications manufactured today. With DDR DRAMs achieving speed grades up to 1600 Mbps, high-performance DDR interfaces are a critical variable in overall system performance. To better address these challenges, designers need a high-quality, proven solution consisting of more than the digital DDR memory controllers.

"Today's high-performance SoCs require specialized DDR memory systems that must address several design criteria plus an aggressive time-to-market schedule," said Marc Greenberg, director, technical marketing of IP products for Denali. "Our Databahn DDR controller and verification IP stellar reputation has really escalated in the industry allowing our customers to make an easier choice to address their application specific performance requirements. We are very content with Percello's first-pass silicon-success with their complex, high-performance SoC."
